Description
Patrick Astruch and co-authors log a warm-water fish turning from guest to dweller on the French Riviera coast, in a study from 2026. The fish, the bastard grunt, is an Atlantic kind that likes warm seas. Lone past logs in the Ligurian Sea read as strays.
From 2020 to 2024, groups of near-grown and grown fish were seen at Cagnes-sur-Mer and Monaco, and three young ones were caught in the Villepey Lagoon. Year-round groups in more than one spot mark a shift: the kind now stays. The team ties the turn to the slow warm of the Mediterranean, which suits the fish more each year. Such logs, they note, are the tide marks of a sea in change.
